Do's and Dont's with tenants

[Anita Muhammad]

I just brought my first property, a two family home,I live in one of the units. and i'm just curious if anyone had any words of wisdom from there on experience. I also have questions: should I allow access to the basement, the yard, the attic? Should I let them know that I am the owner and or have someone else handle the whole transaction? Is it too much to ask them not to smoke inside the home?
